Particularly Interested In

Right now, I'm particularly interested in contained low to mid budget feature films with a character driven storyline. Examples of this type of film would be ROOM (2015), MASS (2021), and SHIVA BABY (2021).

More about Leander Edmiston

Leander has enjoyed many aspects of the filmmaking process including creative development, marketing strategy, and film sales and acquisitions. He has worked at some of the largest and most recognized companies in Hollywood.

During his time at ICM Leander provided insights on screenplays and pitches and developed a focus on character motivated storytelling driven through action and structure. Leander contributed to the development of such feature projects as THE NORTHMAN for Focus Features, THE LAST BLACK MAN IN SAN FRANCISCO for A24, and television shows such as THE EXPATS for Amazon Originals.

Following the pandemic, Leander joined Participant in the Content Strategy department where he worked on socially conscious projects beginning in early development onto the marketing phase and through the sales process. In his time at Participant he helped launch nine global marketing and sales campaigns on episodic, feature, and documentary projects that landed at Netflix, HBO, Amazon, A24 and Neon, among others.

His experiences in development, market strategy, and sales, along with his passion for the creative process lays a foundation of support for writers as they develop their project and fully realize their vision.

How it Works

After registering, you will receive instructions on how to submit your material in your order confirmation email. After submitting your material, please allow 3-4 weeks to receive proposed times for scheduling your consult with the exec.

PITCH DECKS: These are visually-driven documents (20 pages max) that use images and short paragraphs of text to demonstrate the tone, world, character insight, key plot points, stakes, and theme of the series or feature. If the Pitch Deck is for a show, it will use some of the same sections of text as your Series Bible, but will be less extensive. When creating a pitch deck, always make sure that you are using images of a consistent size and quality, and that you use the same font, color code, margins, and other design specifications throughout. Click here for a Pitch Deck example! Want more insight? Consider signing up for our Creating Professional Level Pitch Decks webinar

SERIES BIBLES: These supplemental documents are text-only (20 pages max), and can get requested when marketing any sort of TV show. Among other things, they should demonstrate what makes your characters unique and captivating, the focus and evolution of their arcs, the rules of the world, the hook of the story engine, the intended tone and theme, as well as why YOU are the best person to write this show from this perspective. Here's example #1 and example #2.  Note: The formatting and organization of Series Bibles has changed since these examples were created, but addressing these sections in your own Series Bible will be a great starting point to make sure you're answering questions before they're asked. 

**Please note series bibles and pitch decks are each limited to 20 pages maximum. Please contact terra@roadmapwriters.com for pricing on a consultation for material exceeding 20 pages.

Be sure to familiarize yourself with Roadmap's Code of Conduct.

Cancellation Policy: You may cancel your registration for a refund or Roadmap gift card if you have not yet submitted your material for review. However, once your material has been received by Roadmap, your registration cannot be canceled. Having revised material or a desire to retroactively apply a discount or gift card code are not grounds for cancellation, refunds, or gift card credit. Once your material has been submitted, the only acceptable grounds for cancellation and a refund or gift card credit is an unforeseen, ongoing emergency on the part of either the writer or the exec resulting in more than 6 weeks without any scheduling update from the exec via direct contact or Roadmap, or a sudden change in the exec's ongoing availability. In the instance of an irreconcilable scheduling issue, the writer may still receive a written feedback report from the exec. In this case, the writer is not entitled to a refund or gift card credit as the exec has read the submitted material and provided written feedback in lieu of the call.
